you have seen him shirtless, christian dior, and calvin klein. fifty shades is coming to the si at kaiser permanente we've reduced serious heart attacks by 62%, which makes days with grandpa jack

100% more possible. join us at kp.org and thrive. good evening. was martin mcneill about to get away with murder? that's what two unlikely accusers believe his daughters. they say he killed their mother and they have spent the past six years trying to prove it. from a suspicious nanny to an unnecessary surgery, the puzzle pieces they claim are finally in place. my co-anchor dan abrahams brings us the latest compelling testimony for our series, crime and punishment. do you recognize what that is,

rachel? >> yes. >> what is that? >> it is a picture of my mother. >> reporter: it was a dramatic moment in the 5-day-old trial. rachel mcneill called to testify against her once beloved and admired father martin, for the suspected murder of her mother michelle. >> do you recognize this man sitting right here? >> yes. >> who is he? >> it's my father. >> reporter: sitting feet away from him in a packed utah courtroom, her voice unsteady, the shaken daughter talked about the man she once loved so much. >> how close would you describe your relationship with your dad growing up? >> very close. >> why would you say that? >> growing up my father was my best friend. very close to your dad?

>> i was close to my dad, yes. >> reporter: rachel and alexis have been on a six-year campaign for this moment to see their father, a doctor and prominent member of this utah town tried in connection with the death of their own mother. in fact, without their persistence, this case would likely have never come to trial. >> ever since the day my mom died, i, i -- was concerned that my father killed her. and i have been fighting to get justice for this case ever since then. >> he did not count on his daughters actually turning against him. he did not count on his daughters, putting two and two together to get the answer of four -- murder. they did. and they never gave up. >> reporter: prosecutors believe in 2007, mcneill pressured his wife, a former beauty queen to get a facelift. but with only one real goal in

mind. to overmedicate her during her recovery and ultimately kill her. >> it was my father's voice. >> reporter: rachel recalled the phone call from her father. rachel, quick, get to the hospital. it's your mother. quick. >> reporter: mcneill and his lawyers insist michelle died of natural causes. but this week, a parade of prosecution witnesses raised questions about mcneill's seemingly bizarre behavior the day of michelle's death. including a 911 call where he claimed he needed help to remove his wife from the couple's bathtub. mcneill sent his 6-year-old daughter ada over to the neighbors christie and doug daniels. >> my dad needed help. >> he needed a male's help?

>> that's what i remember. >> christie called her husband who came right over. >> i could have got her out myself. >> reporter: a key point for prosecutors trying to show mcneill was not trying to save his wife but trying to delay help from arriving. defense attorneys dispute that. arguing that martin mcneill had an injury and immediately did everything he could to save his wife. and the cops on the scene believed it was an accident. the medical examiner, listed the cause of death as natural. but there was more. they didn't know at the time. twice he would say -- why? why would you do this? all because of a stupid surgery. earlier the plastic surgeon who performed michelle's facelift testified it was martin, not michelle, who seemed far more intent on the procedure. so much so that mcneill was even requesting the doctor prescribe medications beyond what was his usual practice. >> why did you prescribe these extra drugs? >> that was because martin

indicated to me that he was very concerned about his wife that she didn't handle pain well. >> reporter: police never found the drugs because mcneill asked his son's girlfriend to throw them out shortly after mid s michelle's death. >> did he ask you to flush them down the toilet? did that seem strange to you? >> at the time, yes. >> reporter: something else that seemed strange, within weeks of michelle's death. martin hired some one to care for his younger daughters. but gypsy willis was no super nanny. >> she didn't to anything that i had seen related to the children. >> what did you see her doing? >> my dad was cooking. she was sitting there, staring at my dad. things look thalike that. the children were taking care of themselves. before her death, martin suspected that jipsy was having an affair. when alexis objected to the

family's new care giver. martin took action. >> he said that my mother had thought that he was having an affair with this woman. and that that was ridiculous. and that alexis was going to be that way she was no longer a member of the family. >> reporter: one of the children gypsy was to care for, 6-year-old ada plays a crucial role in the case. after all it was the little girl who first discovered her mother's body. prosecutors argue, that was all part of martin mcneill's plan. >> he physically showed step by step how he found my mother and talked about ada first finding my mother. >> reporter: ada's testimony may poke a hole in mcneill's defense. prosecutors say ada recalled the crime scene, very differently from martin mcneill. >> he specifically said to me that he was concerned that there

be police investigation. that he didn't want to, any one to think that he murdered my mother. it was so shocking to me. i said, why, why would anybody think that? why would any one think that? you never said anything to doug whitney about your dad joking about being single. >> reporter: on cross-examination, mcneill's lawyer questioned rachel's memory. suggesting she changed her story to make it more incriminating. >> all right. rancheros and even asked about her history of mental illness. >> you have been diagnosed bipolar? >> have i in my lifetime been diagnosed as bipolar? yes. the defense insists mcneill has an alibi that he couldn't have killed his wife they say because he was at a work event at the time. but prosecutors don't buy it. arguing the supposed alibi was just a part of martin's sinister plan. at the event, colleagues say he acted strangely. >> he told me he needed his picture taken. he was adamant.

>> reporter: in the coming days daughter alexis is expected to be called back to the stand. and tomorrow, that infamous nanny, gypsy willis, is scheduled to tell her side of the story. >> court is in recess. >> for "nightline," dan a brahms, new york. >> our thanks to dan abrahams for the report. next in the shark tank, it is get rich or go home. so, who is ready to take the plunge? >> and he's the latest football player to get everybody talking, and not for the reason you might think.

who will be the next steve jobs, mark zuckerberg or invent the next gadget. in the shark tank it is sink or swim for entrepreneurs looking to lead the big fish with the big bucks. the female sharks are catching up. you might say they're hot on the trail of blood in the water, will they bite? here is abc's cecelia vega. >> reporter: it is feeding time in the shark tank. >> you walk into the shark tank you look for the sucker. if you don't see one it is you. >> enter with a half baked idea for a new business. >> yes, i am. >> i can't take any more. i am out. >> i want to do this face to face. >> and get eaten alive. >> worst presentation ever. >> i'm out. >> that was mean. >> some times, entrepreneurs on

the hit abc show come armed with the perfect recipe for success. >> i'll make you a millionaire within a year. >> whoa. >> reporter: okay, this is the famous hallway. >> this is where the entrepreneur walks down the hallway. the doors fly open. and all of a sudden, you see -- myself and my fellow sharks up there ready to either -- make them rich or make them cry. >> reporter: shark tank captured the essence of the american dream. that everyone is just one good idea away from striking it rich. >> my offer would be -- 50/50. >> we accept your offer. >> reporter: it has paid off. >> very clever young women. >> reporter: making the show number one in its time slot with record ratings this season. do you really think the next steve jobs or mark zuckerberg could walk through the doors? >> you have no idea. who knows? you never know. >> reporter: in the real world

the stars of the show are pretty big fish. millionaires even billionaires in real estate, fashion and finance. ruthless in bleeding out the million dollar idea from those that won't make a penny. >> you wake up, and say, i want goats. why? >> i graduated college in 2009. >> you thought goat? >> this is no game show, real money, their own money. the stakes are high. as i found out on a recent visit inside the tank, these sharks are cutthroat even when the show's cameras aren't rolling. >> they're very nice and timid when they're not negotiating. after that they can turn on you easily. >> who is the best negotiator? >> i am. >> of course. >> reporter: who makes most risky decisions? >> barbara. >> no way, don't blame that on me. >> it's papa warbucks. >> reporter: the two lady sharks on the show are barbara cork ran, and queen of qvc, lori

grenier. they have a secret weapon the male sharks don't. >> we have a different perspective. most of the men have trophy wives. wealthy men the they don't shop. they don't buy their kids clothes. they probably don't shop for groceries. we also bring friendship to the women that step on the set. >> i think that i bring compassion. i understand what they feel like. so when the entrepreneurs come into the tank, i know what it felt like. >> you two are very much like my husband and myself. i completely understand both of you. i get you. >> reporter: for the first time ever in the show's five seasons, the two female power brokers are battling in the shark tank at the same time. >> we sort of level the playing field by having two women on the set. >> you know what really happen, barb. >> not exactly. >> it's not a fair fight. two women. three men. not a fair fight for them. >> more than fair. because our combined i.q. is three times more than the men combined. >> reporter: whatever the secret is to building a brand these

women have figured it out. >> it is about maybe, two minutes until show time. >> she hold 120 patents and sold half a billion dollars of her swiveling jewelry organizers, nesting cosmetic containers and storage simplifiers. >> my very first time on qvc. i was scared to death. in that one moment you could make it or break it. >> reporter: she used qvc as a launch pad not only for her own products but the shark tank businesses she invested in. everybody has said to me, lori, a happy sponge. my kids love it. >> reporter: the yellow sponge. scrub daddy. >> i think scrub daddy has potential to be $100 million. >> barbara corchran made millions in real estate in new york city. >> what a great space. >> reporter: now on the hunt to buy her dream home in manhattan

which might be this $14.5 million penthouse in the sky. >> unbelievable. >> reporter: she earned it. but says that to get ahead as a woman in the male dominated board rooms of america, you have got to play up your assets. >> i wore short skirts. makeup on. flirt like crazy with the men. i get to them that way. >> reporter: an asset or hindrance? >> i always use the sex card. always. if the men are in suits, kind of boring, same old tie, same old shirts. i wear the sexiest outfit i could find. >> reporter: she sold her real estate company years ago for $66 million. >> welcome to the family. >> thank you. >> come on over! >> caller: barbara's biggest business coup on shark tank was investing in cousins maine lobster. >> awesome since shark tank. before we went on $150,000 in business. ever since, $700,000 in sales.

>> reporter: barbara and fellow shark lori share the spotlight on the show. but the sisterhood of sharks only goes so far. they're ready to battle it out if the deal is right. >> i want to clarify one thing. what lori does well is she sells product. what i do well is i build power brands. and i have done it with every business on shark tank. >> i built a $500 million power brand. >> yes, of course. >> like a gunfight at the ok corral. >> reporter: they may be competitive, but are quick to defend the budding business of women when the male sharks start to circle in. >> lady, i think you are two beautiful women. when you put the cap on, you look like 80-year-old grandmas. >> when the guy is like, let me tell you little girl from up here. let me tell you how to do it. a tone that clicks in. drives me crazy. always, run to their defense. >> i will jump in. i am more protective of the females if that happens with the male sharks.

>> reporter: in the shark tank big mama fish are making room for the next jen ration generat their teeth. >> reporter: will you cultt a woman a break? >> i am tougher on women. tougher on any one to use an excuse to not get ahead. i had a million excuses i could have used and chose not to use them. >> reporter: for "nightline," cecelia vega. >> shark tank airs fridays at 9:00 here on abc. next, some very special kids give a whole new meeting to katy perry's roar. ♪ you're going to hear me roar shoes and accessories with your coupon. and this saturday, bring the kids to jcpenney in costume to trick-or-treat. jcpenney. help the gulf when we made recover and learn the gulf, bp from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company.
